So to fulfill my underutilized parts of my brain I scan the sides of the roads for aluminum cans while biking. I Bike about 15 miles or so a couple times a week taking different routes. Sometimes I am in a rush and pass cans by
but if I got the time I strap them under my bungee cords on my bike rack. Problem is sometimes there gets to be too many cans even when I crush them. Hence the photo here which is only about 3 miles into the ride on a beautiful route through through the Arcata bottoms today. Then I just got to look for a discarded plastic bag, which I found shortly after I took this photo. I get weird looks sometimes but I just claim I am an alchoholic.
The waterway in the photo leads to the ocean so picking up plastic and cans also makes me feel better about the giant plastic trash patch out in the Pacific. I don't pick them up for the money, and fun of it, It's cause I am an environmentalist!

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
-Thomas Jefferson
